Virtual Machine Replica Placement Using a Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm

Algorithm 4

f(c): the performance degrading due to the PM hosting the replica is with lower capabilities.

	Input: S, V
	Output: Count
	Count = 0
	for i: = 0 to V − 1 do
	PrimaryPM = S[i]
	Replica = getReplicas (i)
	for j: = 0 to length (Replica)−1 do
	ReplicaIndex = Replica [j]
	ReplicaPM = S[ReplicaIndex]
	if ClockRate (PrimaryPM) ClockRate (ReplicaPM) then
	Count ++;
	end
	end
	end
	return (Count)
